Wool Exchange, Bradford, Victorian architectural monument in Bradford, England.
The Wool Exchange features a grand Gothic Revival design with tall granite columns, intricate wrought ironwork, and a detailed hammer-beam roof structure.
The foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Lord Palmerston in 1864, marking the beginning of Bradford's central role in international wool trading.
The building's windows incorporate the Star of David pattern, recognizing the Jewish merchants who contributed to Bradford's textile commerce.
The former trading floor now houses a Waterstones bookstore, offering visitors a chance to browse literature within this nineteenth-century structure.
Thirteen medallion portraits on the exterior walls depict explorers, inventors, and industrial leaders connected to the textile industry.
